These models have the basic: four axis (X,Y, throttle, twist rudder) HAT and ~12 buttons).

Avoid generic Chinese brands, like Trust (mechanical deadzone, bad pots...).

What I want to know is, why the hell Thrustmaster doesn't rip out the crap innards in their cougar (I had to mod the crap out of mine to make it accurate) and use the hall effect system from the T16000 with a more reliable gimbal (something like CH uses).

Seriously, their cougar needs its guts overhauled.

Wonder if we'll see some mods using the T16000 in the meantime?
